Biography[]
He is Leon Taylor's best friend and roommate at Medenham after Troy's departure. Tom is part of Roxanne's clique alongside Alex. He is forever supportive and protective over Leon, especially when he becomes involved with Ella and unbeknown to him, at war with Malachi.
It is later revealed that Tom is secretly gay and in love with Leon. Malachi uses this to manipulate Leon into killing Tom by making him think he's an Incubus. Leon is horrified when he realises what he's done and visits his grave to grieve. Tom visits him as a ghost and reassures him that it isn't his fault. The two reconcile with Tom revealing his true feelings and asks Leon to call and comfort his mother now and again before disappearing to the afterlife.
Personality[]
Tom is portrayed meek and shy, who is very loyal to Leon. He is often too trusting, such as when Roxanne manipulated him into giving up Leon and Ella's location after escaping from the asylum.
